				Compiling <span class="application">Geany</span> is quite easy. The following should do it:
				</p><pre class="screen">
					<code class="prompt">%</code> <strong class="userinput"><code><span><strong class="command">./configure</strong></span></code></strong>
					<code class="prompt">%</code> <strong class="userinput"><code><span><strong class="command">make</strong></span></code></strong>
					<code class="prompt">%</code> <strong class="userinput"><code><span><strong class="command">make</strong></span> install</code></strong></pre><p>
			</p><p>
				The configure script supports several common options, for a detailed list, type
				</p><pre class="screen">
					<code class="prompt">%</code> <strong class="userinput"><code><span><strong class="command">./configure</strong></span> --help</code></strong></pre><p>
				There also some compile time options which can be found in <code class="filename">src/geany.h</code>.
				Please see <a href="ch03s06.html#cto" title="Compile time options">the section called “Compile time options”</a> for more information.
			</p><p>
				In the case that your system lacks dynamic linking loader support, you probably want
				to pass the option --disable-vte to the configure script. This prevents compiling
				<span class="application">Geany</span> with dynamic linking loader support to automatically load
				<code class="filename">libvte.so.4</code> if available.
			</p><p><span class="application">Geany</span> has been successfully compiled and tested under Debian 3.1 Sarge, Debian 4.0 Etch,
				  Fedora Core 3/4/5, LinuxFromScratch and FreeBSD 6.0. It also compiles under
				  <span class="trademark">Microsoft Windows</span>™.
			</p><p>
				If there are any errors during compilation, check your build environment and try to find the error,
				otherwise contact the author at <code class="email">&lt;<a href="mailto:enrico.troeger@uvena.de">enrico.troeger@uvena.de</a>&gt;</code>.
